APEC Disaster Risk Reduction Framework

The APEC Disaster Risk Reduction Framework is a set of strategies designed to help Asian-Pacific economies better prepare for, respond to, and recover from natural disasters. It promotes cooperation, information sharing, and capacity building to reduce damage and loss caused by events like earthquakes, floods, and storms. The goal is to strengthen resilience, ensure safety, and minimize economic impacts, ensuring communities and industries can bounce back quickly after a crisis. This framework aligns regional efforts to build safer, more prepared societies across Asia-Pacific.
